Conflict Management Coaching: The CINERGY™ Model Paperback – September 22, 2011

An excellent book by a pioneer in the development of conflict management coaching.Conflict management coaching is basically a one-on-one process. It's client empowering. It's not about advising the client what to do.Cinnie has developed a practical model for coaching conflict, integrating and building on the fields of coaching, mediation, and neuroscience. The model includes a process to follow, case examples, numerous templates, and supporting references.This book is thorough, well organized and practical. I liked how Cinnie clarifies the role of coach in context, as part of a larger community-of-practice, and in relation to other helping professions such as mediation and counselling. Lightbulbs went off for me.I've gotten to know the author through various online channels, including her role as moderator of the popular Coaching Coaching Guild group on LinkedIn, and where she definitely leads by example. Nicely done, Cinnie.

This book is a tremendously valuable resource. The author describes in depth the three pillars of conflict management coaching (coaching, ADR, neuroscience). The merry-go-round of conflict is also described in depth and provides great insights along the way. The author's own CINERGY model is the apex of the book...and would be worth 100 times the price of the book if presented in a multi-day workshop: so the book is a great value as well as most valuable.

I am a mediator with various additional trainings, and I found this book to offer a comprehensive, well-researched model that I can use as a foundation for my developing practice of Conflict Coaching. There is much practical and accessible information, which is based on a linear, sequential system for approaching any kind of conflict. The book describes how the model was developed through a living laboratory of co-facilitators, and seems to literally be the synergistic result. The author, who blends her background of law, mediation and coaching, has created a significant, user-friendly contribution to one of the many new outgrowths in the conflict management field.The book might benefit from some more stories and examples of colorful mediations. I could also imagine there being a companion workbook with exercises to ground the tools as the reader progresses in skill.

This is a must read book to HR, Managers, Executives that want to understand what a Conflict Coach can do for thier organization.

It's a little hard to read -

Cinnie Noble has created a wonderful resource for all consultants who work in executive coaching. I highly recommend this book.

I use this book every day in my practice as an executive coach

Best book I've found on the subject. She provides a clear, well-thought out process that I can follow and implement. She has much experience to draw on that comes out in the book and gives her much credibility.
